Uber eats driving might be kino desu

>>26140908
ok now how much does gas cost? what hours do either profession work? come back to me in a few minutes

>>26140930
Gas is no more than £10/day
On Uber Eats you get an average of £15/hour so with 8 hours of work you made £120.

I'm fucked. Why did I pick this shitty IT degree when all the work is being outsourced to third worlders, fuck.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

yea I recently turned 18 and signed up for doordash thinking it'd be pretty shitty money but I've been averaging 120-130$ a day

>>26140908
>paying universities to teach you something you should have learned yourself at 9 years old

>>26141141
I'm fucking shocked bro. The only fucking reason I started this IT degree is to get a "good job", invest all the money I earn and then be done with it. It doesn't seem worth it wasting those 3 years on studying that shit when I can make even more driving around and be able to invest even more money. Fuming right now

>>26141123
>work 80+ hours a week
>still can‘t make six figures

>>26141196
I was getting into it when I was 12 but barely learnt anything

>>26141289
Still better than a fucking code monkey job man. It will take like 5-10 years of "experience" to get into a 6 figure salary. And who wants to be a fucking code monkey for that long?

that's because writing software is considered a shit job in the EU for some reason. In the US it's not even considered part of "IT" colloquially. That'd be like calling the guy who designs cars a mechanic

>>26140908
I knew a golf course property manager who quit to drive uber because 'it pays better'

I fell for the meme too. Trying to get into. FAANG now, seems like the only option

>>26140908
come to burgerland.
software engineers get paid around 80k in most places and if you're really good you can get paid up to 100k

Come to the states

>>26140908
Do uber eats then?
Uber drivers are chads compared to programming pajeets.

that shit is a meme, the schools jus filter people out they don't actually teach anything that's remotely valuable

We pump elite civilians faster than we create elite jobs.

this thread smells like pajeet curry shits

Do people in the UK really get paid that low? Why did you brexit. You live in Pakistan now.

The catch is that you have to pay 80k a year in rent to live in someone's closet and the city will be filled with homeless and jews.

Uber drivers have to pay for gas and maintain the cars with their own money

>>26140908
What's this £ thing? Some new shitcoin?

>>26141492
Yeah unless you work for big tech it seems like a fucking meme

>>26141504
>>26141555
I rather be homeless here than come to USA, no offense bros

>>26141572
I'm gonna sign up tomorrow and will probably drop this shitty degree. I'm in my first year so not much lost

>>26141661
Dude half of the job is sitting in your car and reading a book or watching videos. Even with the gas and maintainance included it's still 2x better than code monkey job

>>26141691
The biggest shitcoin of them all, soon to be 0

>>26140908
>$300/day as a dasher
There's so much more out there anon

>>26141797
enlighten me bro

Uber make like 10$ per hour after you deduct car and gas

>>26140908
I live in a college town and even before the lockdown uber eats was shit money. First you have to drive 10 minutes to one of 4 McDonald's in town. You get to the McDonald's (because 99% of the time it's only that one franchise giving you orders) and have to wait another 10 minutes for them to make the food (eats is lowest priority out of all the orders).

Then you drive another 10 minutes through shitty traffic because bad urban planning and at the end of it, you make like $6. Yeah, 30 minutes of work for $6. And you don't get anything else for another 30 minutes. Also nobody tips because they're all broke college students.

>>26140908
made 250$ only from tips this weekend delivering pizzas, car provided and gas paid, plus 18 hours at 10 canabucks

>>26142016
don't forget getting hungry or thirsty while driving nukes you too

>>26141661
They have to pay more in taxes too, as well as risk their lives to drunks or bad weather. Shit job all around that really should be roboticized ASAP.

>software engineers get paid around 80k in most places and if you're really good you can get paid up to 100k
WTH? I started in the mid 90's at $42k and made it to $100k within three years. For most of my career, I made $140k-$180k depending on bonuses. I retired three years ago and don't follow things anymore, but has the software industry in the US gotten that bad that quickly?
